Overview

The African Population and Health Research Center aims to generate scientific knowledge to inform local development priorities, and cultivate the next generation of African researchers and thought leaders engaged in evidence-driven change. The center produces policy-oriented research, builds its research capacity-strengthening programs, and refines how it engages in decision-making processes. The center also works to enhance its geographical reach in West and Central Africa.

Grants to this Grantee

The African Population and Health Research Center (APHRC) is committed to generating an Africa-led and Africa-owned body of evidence to inform decision making for an effective and sustainable response to the most critical challenges facing the continent. The center’s mandate is to generate and support the use of evidence for meaningful action to improve the lives of all Africans. This grant supports a project in which APHRC will collaborate with the African Institute for Development Policy Research and Dialogue to strengthen capacity and use of integrated national and subnational data systems to promote evidence-informed decision making in two districts in Kenya.
